INDIA-UNREST-RELIGION

Relatives of an unidentified convicted Indian react inside the Trial Court compound in Ahmedabad on August 29, 2012, after the court decision. An Indian court has convicted a former state minister and 31 others of murder during one of the worst massacres in religious riots in Gujarat in 2002. Maya Kodnani, who served as a minister in Gujarat's Hindu nationalist state government from 2007-2009, was found guilty over the killing of 97 Muslims in the Naroda Patiya suburb of the city of Ahmedabad. Out of 61 people facing charges, 32 were found guilty of murder and 29 were acquitted, prosecution lawyer Shamshad Pathan said. A leader of a local extremist Hindu group, Babu Bajrangi, who was filmed by an Indian news magazine in 2007 describing setting families on fire, was also among the convicted.
